INTRODUZIONE ALL’ASTROLOGIA DEIGRADI

LA TASTIERA INCOMMENSURABILE

Un Grado Zodiacale è la trentesima parte di un Segno, eciascun Segno è la dodicesima parte dell’intera Eclittica,il percorso annuale del Sole apparente intorno alla terra.Ma un Segno è anche divisibile per tre, cosa che da luogoai Decani, o per 2,5, partizione che da luogo aiDwadasamsas, i quali - in ciascun segno zodiacale -riproducono la sequenza completa di tutti i segni.Queste indicazioni servono a comprendere che in Astrologiala parte è integrale rispetto al tutto, è teoricamentecompleta rispetto al tutto, è una miniatura o riproduzionein scala dell’intero: oggi si potrebbe dire un frattale.Il grado zodiacale è dunque una realtà definita, viva,palpitante. I 30 gradi di un Segno sono le 30 Vibrazioniattraverso cui il Segno è e si esprime nel suo insieme. Nonè “indifferente” avere il Sole a 4°25’28” Aquario o a5°30’17” dello stesso segno. Il Sole nel primo casooccuperà il 5° grado Aquario, nel secondo caso occuperà il6° grado dello stesso segno. Questo avviene in quanto ungrado zodiacale inizia a 0°00’00” e termina a 0°59’59”,così che un pianeta o punto a 0°21’12” apparterrà al 1°grado, un altro a 1°00’01” apparterrà al 2° grado, ecc.Che un pianeta o punto occupino un certo grado significache partecipano a quella particolare vibrazione che quelgrado è ed esprime. Vibrazione significa: complessitàsimbolica che sviluppa una determinata tendenza energetica,carattere, destino.I significati simbolici attribuiti a ciascun gradozodiacale sembrano talvolta derivare dalle stelle fisse chesi trovano sullo sfondo del grado medesimo, ma lacorrelazione grado-simbolo è qualcosa di occulto che èstata investigata anche da veggenti che non avevano alcunaconoscenza della posizione delle Stelle fisse inlongitudine eclittica; a tal proposito basterà citare lostudio di Mark E. Jones che con l’ausilio di una veggenteriuscì a compilare l’intera sequenza simbolica dei gradi

zodiacali, sequenza che fu poi reinterpretata anche daRudhyar.Autori che si sono dedicati a questa sezione misteriosadell’Astrologia sono Alan Leo, Sepharial, Charubel,L’Eclair, Kozminsky, Jones, Rudhyar, Janduz, Koppejan,Wemyss ed altri, e tutti hanno dovuto far in qualche modoriferimento alla tradizione antica, o riportata in vitatramite ricerche bibliologiche o attraverso contattipsichici.In Italia la questione è stata del tutto trascurata intempi moderni, eccezion fatta per Andrè L’Eclair, al secoloAdriano Carelli, che io ho avuto il piacere di conoscere efrequentare per un certo periodo. L’Eclair, uomo sensibileed eclettico dedicò ai gradi una lunga meditazione escrisse un libro sull’argomento che fu tradotto epubblicato dalla American Federation of Astrologers. InItalia; nella versione originale in Italiano, a dire ilvero il libro, edito in modo fortunoso, è quasiintrovabile.Willem Koppejan nel suo Zodiac Image Handbook, vasta operain tre volumi sul significato dei gradi, utilizza duesorgenti o sentieri per indagare il mistero di una materiamolto inafferrabile: la raccolta di immagini di Janduz equella di Jones/Rudhyar.“Madame Duzéa - scrive Koppejan - che scrisse con lopseudonimo di Janduz, è originale nella sua interpretazionecabalistica dei simboli dei gradi, il che vuol dire cheprende in considerazione quattro diversi livelli dicoscienza spirituale, riguardo ai quali si basa su Papus(vedi la descrizione del grado ascendente di quest’ultimosul 18° di Leone). Tuttavia, nella sua prefazione del1939, Janduz rimane nel vago riguardo alle vere fonti dellesue immagini. Nomina il medico e astrologo inglese del XVIIsecolo Robert Fludd, che pubblicò una lista di immagini deigradi, ciascuno dei quali semplicemente riportato come“buono o cattivo”. Ciò può avere a che fare con la sorgentedella nostra corrente gallese1. Tuttavia Janduz accenna adun legame più importante per la nostra attuale ricerca,quando svela di essersi basata su Antonio Borelli, sebbene

fosse a conoscenza che sia Tolomeo che Manilio si eranooccupati dei simboli dei gradi.”Effettivamente la “Volasfera” di Borelli (astronomo eastrologo italiano del XVII secolo), tradotto da Sepharial,deve essere stata la fonte principale dell’ispirazione diJanduz. Vediamo a tal proposito e ad esempio, l’immaginedel primo grado di Ariete nella Volasfera:

“Un uomo forte in piedi, vestito di pelli o di stoffepesanti, grezze e senza una forma precisa. Le spalle sonoquasi nude. Nella mano fa oscillare una mazza inequilibrio. La figura richiama un Ercole.”

Per lo stesso grado Janduz scrive nella traduzione di DeLipsis:

“Un uomo robusto, dalle membra pesanti, è in piedi,camminando, la sua mano destra bilancia un randello, lasinistra è appoggiata sull'anca; una pelle di bestia o unastoffa grossolana, messa di traverso al corpo attenua lanudità. Dà un'impressione di potenza tranquilla ma decisa.”

Le assonanze tra le due immagini sono davvero molte!

Il discorso fatto fin qui riguarda le immagini o i simbolidei gradi zodiacali, che sorgono dall’anima profonda delveggente da una memoria ancestrale o da un contattoparticolare (channeling) di cui parla Jones, che per laserie dei suoi gradi utilizza la medium Elsie Wheeler.Diverso è ciò che dobbiamo dire sulla loro interpretazione,ovvero sulla lettura e decifrazione della scena o deglioggetti o figure descritte, dai quali si desumono peranalogia, correlazione simbolica, intuizione ecc.significati particolari per la vita ed il destino di unsoggetto. Questo è un compito che può essere svolto adiversi livelli a seconda del grado di ispirazionedell’interprete.L’interpretazione nella norma coinvolge purtroppo livellipiù superficiali della mente, ed il rischio di non

attingere alla profondità del simbolo è sempre presente.Nelle religioni ufficiali, popolari e codificate,l’interpretazione del testo diviene sempre strumentale epolitica.

“Se guardi il suolo ci parlerai solo del prato, seguarderai a mezz’aria vedrai gli alberi, se guarderai incielo vedrai la grandezza di Dio, e saprai allora che essaè diffusa anche sul suolo e a mezz’aria.”

Esistono nella tradizione gradi zodiacali luminosi eoscuri, e spesso gli interpreti con minore profonditàd’esperienza, si possono far trascinare in drammatizzazioniindebite.E’ evidente che non esiste solo la luce totale o il buioassoluto, e che tutto può essere rabbuiato o riscattatodalla luce. E’ anche vero che risulterà più difficilevivere dovendo purificare energie molto “congestionate”, manella dimensione spazio-temporale nella quale dobbiamovivere, risultano spesso molto più creative proprio lecondizioni più congestionate e apparentemente più dense obuie, una volta che vengano riscattate ed utilizzate alpositivo.La congestione dipende da un eccesso e l’eccesso è piùdifficilmente organizzabile. Il semplice si gestiscemeglio, ma il semplice per noi uomini è una meta non unostato d’inizio.Lo stesso discorso è applicabile agli aspetti “avversi” o“sfavorevoli”, quali le quadrature o le opposizioni, iquali se riscattati, possono emettere in positivo un enormepotenziale energetico, quale il trigone o il sestile nonpotrebbero mai produrre. Su questo punto sono d’accordotutti i Maestri.Per gli scopi pratici dello studioso, il fatto sicuro è chela natura o energia di un certo grado zodiacale tingerà ecompenetrerà a fondo quella del pianeta o punto cardinaleche lo occupa, salvo che, per utilizzare l’astrologia deigradi sui punti cardinali come AS o MC, dovremo esseresicuri dell’ora di nascita del soggetto al minuto di tempo.

A conclusione di questo breve studio vorrei riportare leimmagini riguardanti il medesimo grado nelle raccolte dialcuni Autori, per confrontarne il simbolo. Il grado chescelgo per il nostro esempio sarà il 7° di Capricorno:

Charubel: ”Un labirinto”.

La Volasfera: “Un cuore trafitto da un chiodo”.

Mark Edmund Jones (nella versione iniziale dei gradi,ciclostilata e diffusa ai suoi studenti):“Un rituale magico molto complesso viene mostrato. Figuracentrale: un potente profeta; pesanti abiti lo velano.”

Mark Edmund Jones: (ultima versione):“Un potente profeta velato.”

Dane Rudhyar: “Un profeta velato parla posseduto dal poteredi un dio.”

Janduz: “In un interno scuro, due uomini ed una donna sonoin conciliabolo, e, davanti a loro sono poste delle piccolestatuine ed un cuore trafitto da chiodi.”

L’Eclair: “La Sfinge.”

Isidore Kozminsky: “Un’arpa con le corde rotte, un voltoarrabbiato al di sopra di essa.”

A mio giudizio tutte le immagini riportate raccolgonoun’impressione di un qualcosa di profondo e comune che puòessere descritto in modi diversi. Qualcosa che unisce tuttele immagini. Evidentemente però il grado risponde anchealle condizioni in cui opera all’interno di una certa cartaceleste: tipo di pianeta che occupa il grado stesso,aspetti che lo coinvolgono, condizioni del pianetagovernante il segno e senso generale della carta.A ragione Jones, nel suo Sabian Symbols (Aurora Press),definisce di volta in volta, il possibile influsso alpositivo ed al negativo del grado stesso. Nel caso del 7°di Capricorno scrive con la consueta maestria:


6

Questo è un simbolo delle illimitate potenzialità dellanatura nel senso della sua prontezza a corrispondere alleesigenze fisiche e psicologiche dell’uomo, e dellanecessità che egli eserciti il suo potere, quale fondamentodella sua sicurezza di fronte allo sforzo ed al caos ditutti i giorni. Vi è qui un’esaltazione delle inespresserisorse inerenti all’intera personalità ed unadrammatizzazione del successo quale essenzadell’autorealizzazione. La parola chiave è SUPREMAZIA.Quando è positivo, il grado rappresenta un’infallibileintuizione delle motivazioni degli uomini ed un conseguentedono nell’organizzare i loro sforzi tendenti a qualsivoglialinea di realizzazione, mentre quando è negativorappresenta l’incapacità a distinguere valori veri daifalsi.

Jones recepisce l’immagine del profeta come essenzialmentepositiva, tanto più che la parola inglese prophet significaanche “persona con una comprensione spirituale e moralesuperiore alla norma” (Webster).Egli rappresenta la complessità dell’intera personalità; ilfatto che sia “velato” significa che non è cosciente ditutte le sue energie creative o che opera in modoincosciente (lasciandosi compenetrare dalle energie. Il suoio, durante il rituale, è come cancellato o nascosto), nontanto dunque che egli nasconde il suo vero intento.In effetti, oltre al resto, egli “si vela” dinnanzi aglialtri ipotetici partecipanti al rito.Questo potente profeta non è solo in grado di prevedere ilfuturo ma, come mago, crede che la sua autorealizzazione sifondi sul dominio delle forze naturali.E’ chiaro che al negativo tale grado può produrre un usodistorto del potere derivante dalla mancata distinzione delbene dal male, tanto più pericolosa dati i poteri inerentia questo tipo di personalità.Ci troviamo in Capricorno, in Decano di Capricorno e nelDwadasamsa dei Pesci, che va da 5°00’00” a 7°30’00” delsegno. Si tratta dunque di una zona dell’Eclittica adominante Saturno-Nettuno-Giove. Illuminante a talproposito ciò che scrivono Sakoian e Acker nel loro TheZodiac Within The Zodiac, un testo dedicato interamente aiDwadasamsas :


7

Coloro che hanno questo Dwadasamsa prominente nel lorooroscopo possono perseguire le loro ambizioni attraversol’uso della loro immaginazione creativa e della lorointuizione. Amano rimanere segreti e programmare dietro lequinte. Spesso più intuitivi, visionari, espansivi, esensibili all’estetica rispetto al classico Capricorno,sono in grado di afferrare tracce sottili e sfumature, ecostruire con esse abili strategie, atte a realizzare leloro ambizioni.C’è il pericolo di divenire preda di paure inconsce enevrosi che si manifestano in un bisogno irrazionale disicurezza materiale ad ogni costo. Spesso sono preoccupatidi preservare la loro reputazione. Questi soggetti possonodiventare amministratori o organizzatori di istituzionireligiose, scolastiche, culturali o governative.

* * *

Queste stesse considerazioni valgono sempre, e sonoapplicabili a tutti i 360 gradi dello Zodiaco ed alleimmagini a cui danno luogo.In definitiva che ciascuna macro-zona dell'Eclittica, qualeun segno intero, sia "colorita" da una certa qualitàenergetica, non c'è nessun dubbio; come corollario aquest’affermazione però è altrettanto vero che anche unamicro-zona dell’Eclittica quale un singolo grado, ha unadeterminata coloritura, che è sì subordinata a quella dellamacro-zona a cui appartiene, ma che è altrettantoimportante ed ha un suo carattere specifico.A ciascuna delle macro-zone che consideriamo unità oinsiemi, appartengono dunque delle micro-zone, o sotto-unità che sono da considerarsi sotto-insiemi.L' Eclittica è per l’Astrologia che pratichiamo l'Unitàbase, perché al di là del Sistema Solare non spingiamo lanostra già titubante intelligenza, sebbene le Stelle Fisseche sono dei Soli di altri sistemi, possano venirconsiderate nei temi di grandi uomini, dei geni, deglieroi, e naturalmente in quelli degli Stati. Al di làdell’Eclittica e del suo Centro, possiamo astrattamente econ un senso di paura pensare al centro della Galassia cheattualmente corrisponde a 26°52’ Sagittario.


8

L'Eclittica viene divisa in 12 sezioni che sono i Segni.Ciascun Segno conta innumerevoli sistemi di divisione cherisalgono alla tradizione egiziana, caldea ed indiana: iDecani, le Facce, i Termini, i Dwadasamsas (divisione per2°30’ che genera 12 segni all’interno di un segno a partiredal segno stesso), gli Asterismi della Luna (divisionedell’intera Eclittica in partizioni di 13°20’), i Novamsas(divisione per 3°20’ che genera 9 partizioni all’interno diun segno a partire dal segno stesso) ecc.Partizioni molto piccole come i Dwadasamsas si avvicinanomolto alla misura del singolo grado, e la percezionedell’Eclittica come di un’incommensurabile tastiera di cuisi conoscano i singoli suoni è un’incantevole, quantoancora abbastanza misteriosa realtà.In questo senso si può comprendere l’energia di un aspettoplanetario: essa è come il calore di una fiamma ossidricaapplicato ad una ruota di ferro. Immaginiamo di applicarequesta fiamma ad un certo punto della ruota: il calore cheinveste il punto esatto in cui la fiamma lambiscedirettamente il ferro, si espande anche lateralmente sia adestra che a sinistra per una certa misura oltre la qualenon è più avvertibile. Il calore è massimo sul punto chericeve la fiamma e va diminuendo via via che ci siallontani da quel punto.Riferendoci all’Eclittica, un aspetto che coinvolge uncerto grado produce un massimo effetto su quel punto, ma siespande anche oltre, verso destra e verso sinistra,diminuendo di intensità via via che da quel punto ci siallontani, fino a terminare del tutto quando ci si siaallontanati abbastanza. La tradizione, ad esempio perl’opposizione, dice che l’aspetto dura ancora 8/10 gradioltre il punto esatto, ma è chiaro che a 10 gradi dal gradoesatto, l’influenza dell’aspetto sarà molto minore.

PER I LETTORI CHE CONOSCONO L’INGLESE

Nelle pagine seguenti ho inserito la serie dei 360 gradidello Zodiaco, nella versione che Mark Edmund Jonesciclostilò e distribuì ai suoi studenti. Jones ottennequesta serie di gradi con l’ausilio della veggente ElsieWheeler in un’intera giornata passata nel Balboa Park diSan Diego. Prima di lavorare con la Wheeler, Jones avevagià fatto dei tentativi con Zoe Wells, un’altra medium disua conoscenza, che però in seguito aveva consideratotroppo “colta” per garantire una totale “innocenza”dinnanzi al simbolo che doveva nascere nella sua mente.Già in quelle prime sessioni però, Jones riferisce diessere stato “cosciente (se pur lo ero) solo e soprattuttocon il mio istinto, di uno strano legame genetico di unaqualche natura che si riallacciava eccezionalmenteall’indietro all’antica Mesopotamia o persino a fondazioniancora precedenti dell’intelligenza umana, verso cui lei mispingeva sempre di più, e con un iniziale scetticismoscientifico a quel tempo non presi la cosa con troppaserietà, e così molto si perse."
